[Verse]
C# G#/C A#m7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
F# G#
Was suddenly full of strange men
F#
Who wore suits in the summer
C#/F D# G#
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
C# G#/C A#m7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
F# G#
And none of them came back a gain
C# G#/C A#m7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
F# C#/F F# C#/F
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
F# G# C#
Mean a damn thing to them
[Instrumental]
C# Cadd9 C# Cadd9
[Verse]
C# G#/C A#m7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
F# G#
Where my momma and her momma lay
F# C#/F
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
D# G#
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
C# G#/C A#m7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
F# G#
That you're not here to day
C# G#/C A#m7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
F# C#/F F# C#/F
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
F# G# C#
That would actually blow it a way
C# G#/C A#m7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
F# G#
Used to be the general store.
F#
But now they got a new one.
C#/F D# G#
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
C# G#/C A#m7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
F# G#
I got up with the dawn
C# G#/C A#m7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
F# C#/F F# G#
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
